Rainer is fascinated by the human body - the classic theme of artistic expression and struggle, depicted in all shapes, materials and mediums since the existence of mankind. Rainer's sculpture captures the human body in motion - freezing gestures and emotions in time. The sculptures are both ethereal and tangible, made using hollow steel squares.
In this piece, he depicts a running athlete to illustrate the tenacity and strength required by the sport. When darkness falls and the lights come on, the exquisite shadows of form, squares, body and spirit cast themselves upon the walls creating a second sculpture of light and shadow, adding a new dimension to the overall piece.
